It's not the Government's responsibility to ensure equality. Rather, it is the natural goal of the community and the family to promote and benefit from the various talents of its members.

Social justice requires injustice. To promote the "valuable" member of society, Government must by necessity deem someone else to be invaluable and not worth promoting. To raise one it must demote the other. How is this fair, or just? Moreover Government awards opportunity based on politics not talent.

Opportunity tends to smile upon the industrious. If you are sitting around waiting for your government to give you opportunity I can almost promise you it will never come.

Thomas Jefferson would disagree with you: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights that among these is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, GOVERNMENTS are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."
In short, the fundamental reason for the American government is to ensure equal rights for all citizens.

No, Thomas Jefferson would disagree with you. Thomas Jefferson is also quoted as saying the following:

Quote:

"Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people [blacks] are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them." --Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson would disagree with you: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights that among these is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Exactly, .. that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their creator. This is a statement made in reference to men made in the image of God rather than referring to a bunch of primates!

High every body!!!!!
ShakaZulu, You are absolutely right with that quote, yes you are.

Now lets take the quote IN context. The language that was written in is a DEAD language, old English as opposed to Modern English. Also consider the time period, 1700's.
Example back then "Christian" meant White Men.... as non-whites WEREN"T Christian.... even if they had accepted the religion.

Blacks, Africans, what ever you want to use were by LAW and definition only 3/5th of a white man... they were NEVER intended to be counted among the white citizens of the New World, only counted as possessions or cattle for census enumeration.

The Constitution and The Bill of Rights was intended for whites, America was intended for whites.

After Abolition of slavery all Blacks were supposed to be sent back to Africa, that is until President Lincoln was assassinated by a disgruntled slave owner...

If you are going to go back into antiquity to base your argument you had better learn history, and take it in context of the time period and not apply Modern day terminology and Ideals to an antiquated period.

Thomas Jefferson would disagree with you: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights that among these is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Really? Wasn't slavery still legal in the United States when Jefferson penned those words? In fact, didn't Jefferson himself OWN slaves when he penned those words?

I doubt you are suggesting we should follow the advice of a person who owned slaves and supported the institution of slavery here in the United States.

Or perhaps you are, I can never figure you anti's out.

Yes, I am most definitely saying that we follow the advice of a person who owned slaves.
Equality is a goal to be worked toward. No one ever said that achieving it would be easy. White women also did not have equal rights during Jefferson's time. In fact, Black males got the right to vote in America fifty years before white women earned that right.

Thomas Jefferson freed the family of his slave mistress, Sally Hemmings. Thomas Jefferson was a politician and a politician's words don't always fit their actions. I give Jefferson credit for writing the Declaration of Independence. The words that he wrote became a reality in the years after his death.
Do I wish that Jefferson had not been a slaveowner? Sure. Do I disregard everything else that he did that was positive because he owned slaves? Not at all. Descendants of Thomas Jefferson are a part of the black community to this day. That's the way it goes in American history!

America is becoming more and more diverse, so unless you plan on telling them to stay in some remote White area for the rest of their lives where they don't have to deal with Non-White people, that wouldn't be a very wise decision.

Ey yo mayne, wen yo cawt date be son? I gotsa ta be there. Anyways, I hope you know that America, especially this America that you American Blacks are used to, is not going to be around forever Can you PLEASE interpret that in the ugliest way possible?

I don't know about Popeyes, but Olive Garden is Italiano (read: WHITE. A.R.Y.A.N.). And many, MANY of the foods in Mexican restaurants are actually Spanish dishes, you know, as in WHITE.

I've never heard of a WNist who wants to reject certain types of food if a WNist state could be established.

Conversely, I've never seen a liberal admit that if we had to give up tacos that non-whites would have to give up cars.

Actually, it is almost universal - whenever a liberal argues for multiculutralism they evoke the "food argument" - and ignore that if the technology and innovations of whites were removed from non-white nations they only benefit they'd experience is not being able to kill each other at an astronomical rate via automatic weapons.
